Singapore commercial real estate investments rake in US$4.1 bil in 4Q2023: Knight Frank
The progress of the business property market place here was buoyed by several substantial workplace deals, including the combined sale of Shenton House which was purchased for $538 million last November, and the sale of VisionCrest Commercial for $450 million which also took place last November.
” The offers happened in spite of the weaker investor positions because of fluctuations in rate of interest movements and splitting assumptions between customer and dealer on property valuations. The successful implementation of these massive purchases accentuate the hidden strength of Singapore’s commercial property market,” claims Li.
“Seoul’s office space industry has experienced substantial development over the last few years, with office leas raising greater than 17% from 2020 and openings prices pressing to less than 1%. This solid performance has actually placed it as the best-performing office market in Asia,” states Li.
Neil Brooks, international head of capital markets at Knight Frank, mirrors similar views for the global industrial real estate sector. “Continuous transactions in early 2024 propose enhancing financier sentiment. Despite difficulties like strict yield spreads and high credit prices, the Federal Reserve preserved consistent borrowing rate in the January 2024 assembly although advising against a price reduced in March. Our expectation expects rate reductions to take place after mid-year 2024, which is most likely to correspond with an extra energetic financial investment industry.”
She adds that the confidence in business property in Singapore recommends that as rate of interest secure later this year and repricing slows down, pent-up interest for workplace assets may steer recovery for the industry by the end of this year.
